The paper introduces MVLGeo, a unified framework for cross-view object geo-localization that combines multiple viewpoints into a single model. It employs Vision‑Language Reranking to use contextual text from the query view, a multi‑view Mixture‑of‑Experts architecture to share knowledge and reduce redundancy, and an adaptive elliptical prior for positional encoding. Experiments on CVOGL benchmarks show that MVLGeo achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance and robustness to input degradation.
S$^3$Geo introduces a structure‑semantic synergistic learning framework for cross‑view geo‑localization, combining a Decoupled Query Pooling module to capture local structural patterns, an optimal‑transport based contrastive learning scheme for soft cross‑view correspondences, and a Semantic Knowledge Distillation strategy from a frozen CLIP teacher to embed semantic priors. The method jointly models fine‑grained structural and semantic information, enabling robust matching between images from vastly different viewpoints such as drone and satellite views. Experiments on University‑1652 and SUES‑200 datasets show that S$^3$Geo outperforms state‑of‑the‑art approaches without increasing inference complexity.
UniGeo is a multimodal large language model designed for text-guided drone geo‑localization, enabling the identification of target regions in large image galleries from natural‑language descriptions. It integrates geo‑semantic understanding, cross‑view semantic generation, and candidate‑level verification within a shared vision‑language framework, establishing stable correspondences among local scene elements, spatial relations, and language. A multi‑stage training strategy progressively refines geo‑semantic learning, cross‑view mapping, and fine‑grained verification, yielding significant performance gains on GeoText‑1652, with R@10 and mAP improvements of 13.59 and 2.83 percentage points respectively.
Cross-view object geo-localization (CVOGL) locates a target in satellite imagery using drone or street-view queries. Existing methods train separate detectors for each viewpoint, leading to parameter...
